Chapter 398, New Directions

Wang Huanchu, the president of Xincheng University, was still very confused when he was called to the office.

"Director Gu, Comrade Panda, you two called me over, is there something wrong? It's so mysterious."

"Lao Wang, you sit down first, and we'll talk slowly."

Gu Haishan has no official position, and he is extremely kind and close to the people.

After Wang Huanchu sat down and exchanged a few words, Gu Haishan led the topic to the matter of college majors.

As soon as he heard that it was about the seismology major, Wang Huanchu suddenly asked in disbelief:

"Can we really open a seismology major in our new city?"

The current situation is somewhat peculiar.

Even if Wang Huanchu has been in Xincheng for seven or eight years, he is still a little suspicious, and he doesn't dare to mess around with any innovation.

The main thing is to be afraid, after all, a major like seismology is not a good discipline in itself.

It seems to have a lot to do with some traditional geology, or feng shui master.

Anyway, in the eyes of ordinary people, seismology is such a special case.

"Why not?"

Zhou Jimin asked rhetorically, and without waiting for the other party to respond, he continued:

"I proposed the creation of seismology, and I think it is urgent, and I don't want our research to go untested.........

"We all know how the ancient feudal dynasty was destroyed, and one of the reasons is the Xiaoice River.........

"In fact, in addition to these, natural and man-made disasters are also one of them, but what we are going to talk about now is natural disasters......

"In addition to earthquakes, there are also meteorites, mudslides, tsunamis, tornadoes, and so on........

"We are about to launch a new communication satellite in Oasis New City to establish a more complete global communication system, and the global climate will ........ when the time comes."

"In the future, we will set up a Metro Meteorological Bureau, and every night our Metro TV station will update our weather forecast in all regions of the country......

After listening to Zhou Jimin's words, Wang Huanchu and Gu Haishan knew that the pattern of the former was really not ordinary.

And Zhou Jimin's indomitable momentum is also very admirable.

This is the attitude that scientific researchers should have.

"Okay, then according to what Comrade Panda said, Lao Wang, your Xincheng University will start to set up a seismology major, and it will definitely be too late to recruit students in September this year......

Gu Haishan said with a laugh.

"No problem, since both of you are so supportive, I can't shirk it!"

Wang Huanchu nodded, and then said with emotion:

"Actually, I had been to the earthquake building of Jingcheng University a few times, and I was very interested in their professional discipline, but I ......

Founded in 1956, the seismology discipline of Jingcheng University is the earliest seismology major established in domestic universities, and it is also the most comprehensive seismology research direction among domestic universities.

His research interests include theoretical seismology, structural seismology, and source seismology.

It's just that at the current Jingcheng University, the major of seismology has become a virtual reality.

His words silenced Zhou Jimin and Gu Haishan.

"Don't mention these things again, we in Oasis New Town will develop our technology well, and don't discuss other things!"

After a moment of silence, Zhou Jimin said:

"President Wang, in addition to the seismology major that Xincheng University needs to establish a major, you also need to establish a geology major, a meteorology major and other disciplines."

"For example, gas science and technology, atmospheric detection technology, applied meteorological technology, lightning protection technology, etc., these are all talents that we urgently need in our country in the future, and we must seize the time to cultivate them......

"Don't worry about students not having jobs for them after they graduate, I tell you, we need the least

Establish a meteorological bureau or meteorological team in every county in the country......

The country is so big that every place needs a meteorological bureau to ensure the development of local agriculture.

Next, Zhou Jimin began to popularize the latest communication satellite technology update, what changes will be brought about by the update.

At the same time, he also popularized science with Wang Huanchu and Gu Haishan about the technical impact of meteorology.

"You should remember the natural disasters of May 9, June 0, and June 1st, right?"

Hearing Zhou Jimin's inquiry, Wang Huanchu and Gu Haishan hurriedly nodded.

"We don't want to see natural disasters again in the past three years, so we have to intervene and prevent such disasters from happening.......

"In addition to a series of policies such as the construction of reservoirs promulgated by our great men before, our meteorological bureau must also intervene to carry out artificial rainfall........

"The technological breakthrough in the matter of artificial rain is very simple, and it has taken me a week to solve the technical problem of artificial rainfall.......

Artificial rain is known to fire shells filled with artificial rain materials such as dry ice.

Artificial rain and hail shells are referred to as human rain bombs, and human rain bombs are fired through anti-aircraft guns.

It is a kind of civilian artillery shell that launches a projectile into the clouds and explodes, and the catalyst is sown into the cloud with the shock wave generated by the explosion and detonation, so that the catalyst produces a large number of artificial ice cores, and the mechanism of hail clouds and rain clouds is transformed through the action of the catalyst, so as to achieve the purpose of increasing rain and preventing hail.

However, artificial rain is not so simple as firing human rain bombs, and various aspects need to be considered.

After all, artificial rainfall operations can only obtain the results of increasing the required amount of water under certain natural cloud conditions, and the technical conditions cannot achieve artificial rainfall.

Therefore, professionals in atmospheric detection technology and applied meteorological technology come in handy.

After listening to Zhou Jimin's words, Gu Haishan and Wang Huanchu were so excited that they trembled.

If this thing really happens, it will be a good thing that "the merit is in the present and the benefit is in the future".

Judging from the situation described by Zhou Jimin, in the future, once the meteorological bureau is established across the country, the drought problem may be effectively prevented.

"Comrade Gu, your government affairs department has to start to set up a meteorological bureau, and finally cooperate with the military, because the anti-aircraft guns needed for subsequent artificial rain enhancement will have to be purchased in large quantities from the military.....

"No problem, Comrade Panda, we promise to complete the mission."

Zhou Jimin smiled and continued:

"Don't get excited, you have to slowly form a scale here in our Oasis New Town, and after the technology is explored, it will be rolled out to the whole country, don't worry..."

As the saying goes, if you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, you have to take things step by step and complete the task in a down-to-earth manner.

When the meeting of the three was over, Wang Huanchu left in a hurry, and Gu Haishan was also busy starting to set up the Meteorological Bureau.

Zhou Jimin went home and then drove a plane to the capital.

Wenjin Street, not long after the Lantern Festival, Zhou Jimin came here again, and the leaders were a little strange, why did they come so often recently?

Immediately, Lao Lin and several other leaders chatted with Zhou Jimin for a while, and soon held a meeting.

It is easy to establish a meteorological bureau all over the country, however, it will inevitably increase the burden of ***.

After all, there are about 1,600 county-level or equivalent units in the country, and even if these units only add two members to the Meteorological Bureau, then the whole country will need more than 3,200 people.

These wages are also a lot of burden.

Not to mention that two people are definitely not enough, at least three or five people are needed, professionals engaged in meteorological monitoring, anti-aircraft artillery firing and maintenance personnel, liaison officers, and so on.

So no matter how streamlined, the most basic configuration must not be missing.

The question is, where can I find these talented people?

There is no doubt that anti-aircraft artillery must be the responsibility of the army, but for other professionals, it is not so simple.

"Leader, I think so, in July this year, we in Oasis New Town need more candidates after the high school entrance examination to register for the exam.......

Zhou Jimin put forward his request, that is, to improve the quantity and quality of candidates.

Because he needs not only talents in meteorology, earthquakes, etc., but also talents in medicine.

So it was very urgent, and I also thought that Lao Lin could help solve this problem.

However, at this time, a leader suddenly became more interested in Zhou Jimin's communication satellite and raised several questions.

What is the weather forecast, can you arrange it in advance here in Beijing?

"Leader, soon, we expect to launch three rockets in the first half of the year, three in the second half of the year, and then after we have six satellites, we can be .....blessed with functions in communications, meteorology, etc."

The original communication satellite system can only be done in an approximate way, and it is difficult to achieve anything on a local scale.

After listening to Zhou Jimin's words, the leaders then asked a lot of technical questions.

He answered them all.

There are too many problems encountered in the process of building the space station, but in this case, it is best to gradually establish a corresponding mechanism to benefit the country, instead of spending money indiscriminately.

After the technology is researched, it can't be applied to real life, which is a big pity.

As a scientific researcher, a pragmatic style is the right solution.

After chatting with the leaders, Zhou Jimin left Wenjin Street.

For the establishment of these institutions of the Meteorological Bureau, the leaders also need time to digest, and once again mention the old words, that is, to establish a pilot project in the new city.

If the feasibility is determined by then, it will be promoted nationwide.

In fact, it is quite difficult to establish a pilot meteorological bureau in Oasis New Town.

The main reason is that the climate here is characterized by a warm temperate continental arid climate, which is old and arid, and it is very difficult to achieve the purpose of artificial rainfall.

However, Zhou Jimin still agreed, after all, the current Oasis New Town is not the previous Oasis New Town.

It has been ten years since the establishment of the Oasis New City in the first place.

When it was first established, the new city was already very different, after all, the entire city was completely built by Zhou Jimin himself.

The subsequent expansion was also made by him with great effort.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to rely on the botanists and students of the Agricultural College to achieve the rapid expansion of the town.

Ten years have passed in the Oasis New Town, and the climate characteristics have slowly changed a lot.

At least the amount of rainfall has increased a lot, and the rainfall can basically be stored for the watering of flowers and plants.

The forest cover is very high throughout the city and in the surrounding areas.

In this case, the pilot work of artificial rain enhancement is not impossible.

Of course, most of the agriculture near the new city is not dependent on the weather, but uses high technology.

Many flowers and plants, vegetable gardens, rice, etc., are basically planted in greenhouses.

Yes, hybrid rice trials have also begun near Xincheng, which is a new direction after the establishment of Northwest University.

Compared with Xincheng University, Northwest University, which was established later, does not have any advantages.

Therefore, if you want to develop, you can only find another way.

No matter what the profession is, it needs to be innovative, otherwise it may be difficult to get strong support from the municipal government.

Not to mention catching up with and surpassing Xincheng University, at least don't be too far away from Xincheng University, right?

The College of Agriculture of Northwest University has found a different way and wants to make outstanding contributions in the fields of hybrid rice and hybrid watermelon.

Zhou Jimin, who returned to Oasis New Town, held a meeting again, this time he brought Xincheng University, Xincheng University of Technology, Northwest University and The leadership of the four schools of Metro University of Science and Technology all shouted.

There are two medical schools left, Zhou Jimin didn't call them, and when the time comes, just let Gu Haishan send a notice to them.

"You may have guessed the reason why I invited you to the meeting, it's simple, ...... next."

As soon as the meeting began, Zhou Jimin went straight to the point, and there was no greeting or chatting at all.

Shinzen University has the most majors to offer, and the remaining three universities also have a lot of majors to offer.

After all, the two disciplines of meteorology and earthquake belong to the category of science and engineering, and it is natural that they need to open such majors.

In addition to these two disciplines, there is also the research of agricultural technology.

"President Wang, I remember that Xincheng University opened a professional course in electric vehicles, right?"

Wang Huanchu heard Zhou Jimin's inquiry, nodded hurriedly, and explained.

Electric cars, in fact, have appeared for a long time, and the electric cars in Oasis New Town, at the earliest, were sightseeing cars.

Because sightseeing cars are very simple, not as complicated as cars.

Moreover, sightseeing vehicles are generally only fixed routes in the city, such as zoos and other places, and the distance that the battery can supply sightseeing vehicles is only within a range of more than 50 kilometers.

It's just that since last year, electric vehicles have ushered in spring.

In addition, battery majors, materials science and other disciplines related to electric vehicles have become popular, and the development prospects are huge.

"In that case, then you need to open a few more other technical disciplines.....

The development of agriculture is inseparable from the progress of agricultural machinery technology.

Earlier, Zhou Jimin had already begun to lay out, but the development was slow.

Now that the communication satellite system is about to be upgraded and the Meteorological Bureau is about to be established, then in the Taklamakan Desert, an agricultural economy can be established.

Not to mention becoming a granary, at least it can solve the problem of self-sufficiency in the new city.
